One of the chunks of tree trunk we had to cut off our tree to make it short enough to fit in our house. The sap started seeping out the first night. When this challenge came up, I shot about 100 pics trying to get something like this.

Cropped, Adjusted Brightness (-5) and Contrast (+17), Use Auto Saturation Adjustment to make it more colorful, sharpened and used digital camera noise reduction. Resized. Added 1 pixel white border and 9 pixel black.

I would have liked to see a sharper image of this; could this be due to image size reduction? Also, depth of field adds very little to the image.

4 - Good potential. Unique shot. Without your title, likely wouldn't discern it during voting. Criticism; more 'balance' here, and a sharper perspective, or more of a macro if possible, to gain more detail in the sap and 640 width, would have made this better in my opinion. Incorporating or 'losing' that dark area bottom left and just a finer focus, especially on the sap, and ideally one or two rings in the cut wood would also have likely helped this. The frame detracts, especially at this size, plus there is an 'issue' on the left with it.
